What makes a useable honey dipper? I had a request for a honey dipper, so I made the first one on the left in the photo. It looked good and would pick up some honey, but would not let it go. The slots were 3/32 inch. So I made the second with 3/16 inch slots. It picks up a lot of honey and drips a lot of honey. The third one has 1/8 inch slots but was a little too big. The fourth on the right also has 1/8 inch slots and is the one I shipped.
Never having used a honey dipper before I was unsure what to expect, but it seems to take a long time to drain the honey into your tea, or it drains too easily. I also suspect that performance depends on the temperature of the honey. Perhaps I need to make summer and winter dippers.
Any advise would be appreciated.
